Shanti Swarup Gupta (1929–2018) was an Indian economist, author, and academic administrator. He served as the vice-chancellor of Agra University and was a prominent scholar of Gandhian economics and rural development strategy.

Gupta is best known for his 1992 work, Integrated Development Plan for India, in which he proposed decentralized governance models and integrated socioeconomic frameworks based on the concept of Ānanda (permanent happiness) rather than purely material metrics.
